It's been several weeks since we entered our first comp. I've been doing a lot of reflecting and thinking on it. One thing has popped into my mind that I'd like to ask.
Is there anyone on the comp trails that doesn't spritz, mop, wrap, inject, or brine? When we were at the comp it seemed everybody wrapped their ribs at some point, you talk with teams and their brisket was injected, their pork butts also injected and their chickens brined. You always saw people spritzing or mopping.
One guy told us "If someone that is winning tells you they don't wrap their ribs they are lying." He went onto say (and others we talked to corroborated his thoughts) that if you aren't injecting butts and briskets or brining and/or injecting chickens you're not winning.
To be honest, when it comes to ribs I don't spritz, mop or wrap. But I also know cooking like I do back yard isn't like cooking in a comp. Same goes for the briskets and butts. I don't do a lot of injecting (not at all matter of fact) at home and I definitely do not sprits or mop.
But is this something I need to get accustomed to doing if I want to have a real shot at walking? Thanks in advance brethren. :thumb:
